PowerShell 7.3.6 is the latest version of PowerShell. It is distributed as a universal RPM package³. PowerShell 7.3 includes PSReadline 2.2.6, which enables Predictive IntelliSense by default⁴. However, beginning with PowerShell 7.0, PowerShell skips autoloading PSReadLine on Windows if a screen reader program is detected². Currently, PSReadLine doesn’t work well with screen readers². The default rendering and formatting of PowerShell 7.0 on Windows works properly². You can manually load the module if necessary².
– If you run the command `Import-Module PSReadLine`, it will manually load the PSReadLine module. However, it is important to note that currently,
PSReadLine doesn’t work well with screen readers. The default rendering and formatting of PowerShell 7.0 on Windows works properly with screen readers.
So, if you are using a screen reader, it is recommended to not load the PSReadLine module. If you are not using a screen reader, you can safely load the module. Is there anything else I can help with? 😊
